Using the term "assisted death" rather than euthanasia, the council invoked a "duty to humanity" to allow a patient "suffering from an ailment for which the treatment has become ineffective" to die.

A medical team, not a sole doctor, would take the decision.

The council's conclusions came after President FranÃ§ois Hollande asked it to examine the precise circumstances under which such steps could be authorised, with a view to tabling draft legislation by June.

Changes were necessary, he said, as, "the existing legislation does not meet the legitimate concerns expressed by people who are gravely and incurably ill"....

yep, Rufus has got a point, known of it myself..... they turn up the morphine till the previously wide awake person never wakes again..... "love" how our position of comfort in darwins world is always "one step closer"... let the "one step closer" be a code for all of us that it is already a living reality.

The United States does the same thing, only here it is called hospice and the cause of death is morphine overdose.
